Ecclesiastes 12: 13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. To fear God means, to fear disobeying His commandments, the wages of sin is death; but repentance through Jesus Christ's resurrection is life eternal of the world to come.
Before we can obey the first four commandments, thereby loving our Heavenly Father whom we can not see, we have to first obey the other six commandments of the second tablet. In so doing we come to love our fellow human beings whom we can see. In obeying the second tablet first, we automatically fulfil in obeying the first tablet. By obeying the second tablet, six commandments, we learn to love God through Philadelphia, which means love for each other. Galatians 5: 14. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. To Honour and Love God means to search for Him, which is an everlasting lesson in how to wash the feet of sinners (loving one's neighbour), as Christ washed ours with the Baptismal Holy Spirit of the fulfilled Commandments. By washing the most distant bodily part of the members of Christ's Body, Christ being Victorious over all, will ensure uplifting in Glory God's Temple, The New Jerusalem.
The First Four Commandments are:
Exodus 20: 2-3. I am the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20: 4-6. Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Showing mercy to thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20: 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
Exodus 20: 8. Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy.
Summary of the four Commandments.
Keep walking always in My Love.
The other Six Commandments are:
You shall honour your father and your mother. Is the same as Ephesus, you have lost your love for one another.
You shall not murder. Is the same as Smyrna. If you fear death, you will murder so as not to be murdered.
You shall not commit adultery. Is the same as Thyatira, you tolerate that woman Jezebel.
You shall not steal. Is the same as Pergamum, you steal God's sheep so you can make them your slaves.
You shall not bear false witness against your fellow. Is the same as Sardis, you think you know every thing therefore condemn and bring false witness.
You must not desire your fellow's goods. Is the same as Laodicea, become wealthy by desiring what belongs to others, search first the Kingdom of Heaven and the rest will be given to you.
Job 5: 17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Job 5: 19. He will deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
This is the calling of Jesus, to regenerate the commandments. It is the regeneration of the Ten Commandments summed up in two tablets of Moses, to love our fellow as one's self, so that we can love God our Heavenly Father as He loves us. We be to our Heavenly Father through the love of one another, whom Jesus Christ our Lord revealed in person until death; but lives on forever. Thanks be to Him, who proved that the commandments can be obeyed to the very end. John 15: 22-25. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works, which no other man hath done, they had not had sin; but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. This comes to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.' If Jesus could fulfil the word so can we. Eat (learn and understand) the Body of Jesus Christ; and Drink (do what you have been taught) His Blood, so that we may have ever lasting life.
Do not think that one can clean one's own soul without using the two tablets of Moses, which are also the seven churches of Jesus. These are the six commandments towards our fellow man, which will ensure walking always with God; and the four commandments summed up as one, towards our Heavenly Father. Matthew 12: 43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest he finds none. Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out and when he arrives, he finds it empty, swept and garnished. Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation. These seven wicked spirits symbolize the darkening of the Menorah. The lights of the Menorah are the seven stars that Jesus holds in His right hand. The regeneration of the Ten Commandments through the Seven Churches. By disobeying the Commandments, we invite wickedness to darken our soul. Without Jesus as our Housemaster, satan and his angels will occupy our body. We have to obey the Commandments, so our body can become the Temple of the Lord.
Matthew 5: 17-20. Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfil. For verily I say to you, until heaven and earth shall pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all be fulfilled. Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Exodus 20: 2-11. [1] I am the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [2] Thou shalt not make to thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. [3] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [4] Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath-day, and hallowed it.

Deuteronomy 5: 6-11. [1] I am the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [2] Thou shalt not make for thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. [3] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. [4] Keep the Sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

New Name, New Jerusalem Rev 3: 12. [1-4] Philadelphia, which means love for neighbour, also means love for God. Matthew 25: 45. Philadelphians have received the crown of life. Revelation 3: 11. Only Kings wear Crowns giving glory to God. Revelation 4: 10. Philadelphians sit with Jesus and the Father on the Throne, ruling as God, Israel, which means, They will rule as God. Revelation 3: 21. The Philadelphians fulfill the First Four Commandments due to the fact that they fulfill the other Six Commandments. Revelation 3: 10. The Philadelphians have a little strength, sufficient to remove mountains of false religions. Their little faith in Christ is stronger than all other none truths. Revelation 3: 8. Matthew 17: 20. |

Luke 8: 1. And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him and certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons.
1st John 4: 20. If a man says, "I love God;" and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he that loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God, whom he has not seen?
John 13: 35. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.
John 21: 15-17. So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me more than these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my lambs. He said to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my sheep. He said to him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter was grieved; because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.
Revelation 1: 12. And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 1: 16. And he had in his right hand seven stars, out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Matthew 5: 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, then come and offer thy gift.
Romans 13: 8-10. Owe no man any thing but to love one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, (Fourth) Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Second) Thou shalt not kill. (Third) Thou shalt not steal. (Fifth) Thou shalt not bear false witness. (Sixth) Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment (honour your brethren), it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, (First) Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love works no ill to one's neighbour; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
Matthew 19: 16- 22. And behold, one came and said to him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? And he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith to him, Which? Jesus said, (Second) Thou shalt do no murder, (Fourth) Thou shalt not commit adultery, (Third) Thou shalt not steal, (Fifth) Thou shalt not bear false witness, (First) Honour thy father and thy mother: and, (same as the First) Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man said to him, All these things have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet? Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be perfect, (Sixth) go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Very difficult for someone who covets his neighbour's God given equal share, to give back to those who have less. These two scriptures, is further evidence that the Commandments are - Four on the one Tablet (Love for God) and Six on the other (Love for neighbour).
